Weinstadt

Weinstadt is a town in the <a href="/facts/Rems-Murr/rJSk0HPs">Rems-Murr</a> district, in the state of <a href="/facts/Baden-W%25C3%25BCrttemberg/6MjmVxjI">Baden-Württemberg</a>, <a href="/facts/Germany/paluuWBX">Germany</a>. It is located in the <a href="/facts/Rems_(river)/hYRop8ke">Rems</a> Valley approximately 15 km east of <a href="/facts/Stuttgart/H4DCyM2U">Stuttgart</a>. Its population in 2012 was 25,998.
The town is composed of five districts or <a href="/facts/Ortsteil/jhnY07n2">Stadtteile</a> which were formerly independent towns and villages. They are Beutelsbach, Endersbach, Großheppach, Strümpfelbach, and <a href="/facts/Schnait/FNIP8I9r">Schnait</a>. The five towns were combined to form the city of Weinstadt in 1975. Today, the city is the 6th largest in Rems-Murr-Kreis.
As the name implies, Weinstadt is best known for its vineyards and production of wine. The Remstalkellerei (Rems Valley Winery), in the Beutelsbach neighborhood of Weinstadt, is a cooperative owned by the local growers and is the tenth-largest winery in Germany.
From 1958 through 1976, <a href="/facts/Stanford_University/JEQeF9z2">Stanford University</a> in <a href="/facts/California/zLW2vdQJ">California</a>, <a href="/facts/United_States/P0sCdLe5">United States</a>, maintained an "overseas campus" for Stanford undergraduates in Beutelsbach.
